Members of Agro-Eco Philippines have enough to eat despite the War in Iran

“Practicing agroecology – using own seeds, formulating own fertilizers, diversifying crops, and strengthening local food systems – is proven very effective and even promote resilience in a time like this” says Nonito Rebusora Olimpo, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Agro-Eco Philippines.

"Building local food sovereignty is a long-term response to the increasing global crises. It helps communities remain stable despite external shocks and enables them to defend their right to a dignified livelihood” says Bembet Madrid, Coordinator of Fastenaktion in the Philippines.

Farmers in other countries where Fastenaktion is working also feel the same level of resilience.
